Outreach
READS Program at Parkwood Elementary
The Arlington Family YMCA's Outreach Program is a special
reading program called YMCA READS for neighborhood children.
YMCA READS offers one-on-one tutoring for 1st and 2nd
graders. We are proud to say that this program has been able
to help 100% of the children increase their reading levels
since the program began.
The READS Program counts on the support of our local
community and our YMCA in order to provide their services to
the community. If you have any interest in donating
services, time, supplies or funds please contact us at
904-744-2233.
"Tutoring at Parkwood Elementary School has been great. I
love being able to be a part of the kids lives by just
volunteering to help them in school and give some of my time
each week. There is no other feeling like ht one you get
when you’re greeted by a classroom of elementary students
with a gleam in their eyes who are excited to see you.
These kids are eager for help and for someone to care. It’s
a privilege to be that person!"

Strong Kids
Strong Kids is our annual giving campaign that provides a vitally important portion of the dollars we need to serve families on the First Coast. The YMCA seeks financial support from members, businesses and community donors to ensure no one is turned away from participating in YMCA programs because of
the inability to pay.
We count on volunteers to help raise funds for our Strong
Kids Campaign each year. If you would be interested in donating your time or funds please contact
